Why? Whats the cure? Even making the front tires red. I don't use the brakes hard, I use the EB. Anybody else have this red mess?

 

I just put Kleen Wheels on my fronts to keep the dust down. On my wife's minivan it was really bad but her dust was black. I put Kleen Wheels AND Ceramic pads on it and now those wheels stay super clean.....

 

Change the factory brake pads 2 ceramic.

 

I'm planning on that for my truck eventually. I have read that the Ceramics are much harder than organic and the rotors will not last as long...

 

The '98 kept eating up brake pads, so I thought I outsmarted AutoZone by getting lifetime pads.

They saw me coming, though - the pads were so hard I started eating up rotors... I'm no dummy, though - so I bought their lifetime rotors.

Turns out they were still a step ahead, since I found myself swapping pads & rotors every year (got pretty good at those dang unit bearings!)... now I buy soft pads that stop hard!

Check & Mate...

 

Yah, got that too. Usually only see it when the weather's been bad and don't wash the truck as often. My passenger side wheel has more red dust than the driver's side. I replaced the front brakes @ 100 miles with Bendix pads and thought it was the replacements that only had the red color, but sounds like the stockers throw red dust too.

 

I looked up kleen wheels. Is $38 ea about right?

Thanks for the ideas.

 

That's for a set of two. Just make sure you have the vents facing forward. They come with a LS and a RS.
That's what I paid for mine plus shipping...

 

Do they keep your wheels clean? Did you have to re-balance?

Thanks

 

Yes they work. They are thin sheetmetal inserts kind of like a thin hubcap that goes inside your rim. You don't have to worry about rebalancing.
